A wall is any section of sheet metal material in your design. You can create two kinds of wall:
• Unattached wall—An independent wall that does not need another wall to exist.

You can create these types of unattached wall:
• Planar
• Extrude
• Revolve
• Boundary Blend
• Swept Blend
• Sweep
• Helical Sweep
• Blend
You can create these types of attached wall:
• Flat

    Those are state of geometry preview within the feature creation user-interface.

     

    Attached—Displays the geometry as it appears when you finalize the feature. 
    Unattached—Displays the outline of the geometry you are defining. 
    Config option 'dynamic_preview' controls the default preview state.

     

    For better display, Create a solid box and on that create a hole. When creating hole use Attached or Unattached.
